One of the first machines I met when I arrived on my first visit to
the US was an El Camino. It was owned by a colonel (the Deputy for
Operations) at MacDill who was not short of a bob or two. I could
not fathom why he would own a secondhand car that was so useless,
pretended to be a pickup and could not carry more than his wife and a
small child.
I guessed, correctly I now realise, that it was a cultural thing
which transcended praticality or aesthetics ...;-)
But those "Utes" look just as ghastly chaps! Is Holden a US company
in disguise, making cosmetic changes to its body shapes to suit the
market, but keeping the same antiquated underpinnings to maintain low
costs?
